Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 31 of Job. Job presents a series of declarations concerning his sexual conduct and his relationships with women. He states that he made a covenant with his eyes and rejects infidelity as a wrongdoing deserving judgment. The passage shows that his defense of integrity is not merely abstract: he lists concrete practices he considers incompatible with the fear of God.

so müsse ich säen, und ein andrer esse es; und mein Geschlecht müsse ausgewurzelt werden.
Siembre yo, y otro coma, Y mis verduras sean arrancadas.
que yo siembre y otro coma, y que mis brotes sean arrancados.
Que je sème et qu'un autre moissonne, Et que mes rejetons soient déracinés!
Semini pure io, e un altro se lo mangi; E sieno diradicati i miei rampolli
Então semeie eu e outro coma, e seja a minha descendência arrancada até à raiz.
願我栽種,別人來吃, 我的農作物連根拔出。
